The Ocean’s 8 actor admitted that filming the very last episode will be far from easy. He said: ‘My intention, which I think I’ll fail at dramatically, is to just not be crying for the entire hour, which I think I will be.’

‘So I’m really going to try to keep it together. Our intention is to, you know, go out in the way that we came in and I will miss it hugely,’ he stated. 

Corden, who recently admitted that it was ‘terrifying’ to leave his show, additionally informed Jimmy that he had been a big inspiration to make the initial career step.

Heading off: The duo strapped themselves in as they headed home

Shortly before the two talk show hosts pulled off a musical number where they performed a mashup of popular Christmas tunes, such as Last Christmas by Wham, James was welcomed to the stage by a cheering crowd. 

He donned a classic, black velvet suit along with a brown sweater underneath for a relaxed feel. ‘I’m so happy to be here. I really am,’ the British-born star gushed to Jimmy as the applause began to quiet.

James revealed to Jimmy that the main reason for his exit was, ‘primarily because we’re a long way from home, and we really want our children to know what it’s like to grow up in London.’ 

The Peter Rabbit star shares three children, Max, 11; Carey, eight; and Charlotte, five, with his wife of ten years, Julia Carey. He added that he wants his kids to have a good ‘relationship with their grandparents. And that is time that you don’t get back really.’ 

The actor expressed that although he was sad to depart the late night talk show, he felt ‘certain it’s the right thing to do,’ adding, ‘I’ve loved every second of doing it.’
